I think I might argue that Irelia's VGU has surpassed Warwick's as the best VGU Riot has done so far

This new kit just looks fantastic in every way. Irelia is my second most played champion and I have to say that this rework just looks amazing. Her Q has always been one of the most amazing things about her and they really emphasized that with the rework. The only criticism I really have of this rework is that from clips I've seen, her Q speed seems to be a little slow so I definitely wouldn't mind it being a little faster. One thing that also kinda bums me out is that before you could use your ult to get a minion wave in front of you to low enough health where you could get the Q reset on one to help you chase down an enemy. It doesn't seem like you can mark minions in anyway to get a reset and you definitely don't want to be using your E to get them low when chasing so I'm not sure there is anyway to chase after enemies the same way you can now using the minions. If they added that back in somehow I would definitely appreciate that, but definitely not necessary.

Edit: Oh and getting a reset with Bladesurge doesn't refund part of the mana cost so adding that back in would also be nice, but doesn't really matter.

just like ww rework it kept some of the old champion's feature

and that's good because it feels like it's irelia, she dashes everywhere and controls blades

Does her new kit not remind you of WW kit? They basically added in all the same stuff....

Her Passive now heals does magic damge Q (always did) have a gap close W reduces damage (similar to WW E) E stuns (similar to WW fear) Ult "traps" people"

The kit looks like a lot of fun and dont get me wrong, but it almost looks like they just recycled the WW rework with the major changes being a longer dash with out the massive movespeed.

1st: Grasping for straws, huh? 2nd: Her passive doesn't heal her.

Think what you want, but it isnt a unique kit. With all the really doing is getting rid of the Reliability from it to make the skillcap higher.

You're comparing oranges and apples here. Just because two kits have very general similarities it doesn't mean they aren't unique.
